Larnach Castle and Otago Peninsula - It was a long but very enjoyable Lucy, our guide, gave a running commentary about the sights in Dunedin. We stopped at multiple sites to take pictures. I felt we received a through tour of Dunedin, Larnach Castle and the Otago Peninsula. It was very windy and cool so make sure you wear appropriate clothes. We saw quite a bit of wildlife sea lion, sea elephant, many different species of birds. The castle and grounds were beautiful it was a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Would do this again! - Lucy was great! She was super informative and I was impressed with her ability to do the tour in two languages! This was a semi-private tour in a small minivan, and we were able to get into places where the big busses couldn't go, and didn't have to wait for a ton of people at each meeting point. I would definitely do a tour with her again!

A perfect Dunedin and Otago Peninsula Overview - A great intro to Dunedin and the Otago Peninsula combining historical sites, stunning scenery, and some wildlife. Lucy, our guide, was terrific! She shared her knowledge of the area and went above and beyond to take us to a stunning beach not originally planned for. Simply a wonderful first day in Dunedin!

Beautiful views without being rushed. - We covered a lot if ground without ever feeling rushed at any stop. Beautiful views, and the advantage of a small group (6 people, 3 couples)

See it all: Sea lions, sheep, city and sweeping views - Lucy was very good at showing us all the wonderful sights in Dunedin. She was patient and gave us lots of time to enjoy watching the sea lions and wildlife and taking pictures. We like being loaded with lots of information and local knowledge of the places we visit and wish that Lucy could have given us more information. The views were stunning and we highly recommend this tour if you want to see it all: the city, wildlife and scenic views.

Interesting tour - Good mix of city tour with several stops and nature. Allen Beach is the highlight. Anyone hoping for penguins will be disappointed. They don't come back to the beach until evening from hunting.
